Comments on the It Gets Better Facebook:
>>My heart goes out to those Christian teens that were bullied in front of their peers. Good for them for being strong - so sorry they had to experience bullying at the hands of the self-proclaimed “expert”. We should see nothing less than a public apology from whoever this Dan Savage is and the NSPA. And they should NEVER have him speak again - he is clearly not the expert on anti-bullying. He might be an expert on being gay, but a true expert that can practice what he preaches (its called character) should address the kids in the future. At least now the teachers know and should NEVER take their students to a conference where their students can be abused.
>>As a gay Christian, I’m going to ask the leader of this movement directly, though I know he would never actually answer:
Is it okay to bash Christians, even if they’re also gay? Because you just bullied ME - and the hundreds of thousands of gay Christians all over the world with your inability to rein in your own hatred and anger toward a group of people.
Bullying, which you’ve worked so hard to fight, has now been exhibited by YOU. Really, Dan Savage??
I’ve read through a small portion of the comments from Christians who have posted on here, and you have just knocked your own cause backward several years.
>>Savage is a coward and hypocrite of the highest order. Why doesn’t he take on Islam in public—after all how many gays have died in Sharia law countries? I personally challeneg Savage and his cowardly minions to take on Islam in public, of course you might want to talk to Salmen Rushdie first and find out all the good hiding places.
>>I understand that you don’t have any use for the Bible, but one concept you surely should ponder is, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”—you have lost a lot of credibility as a spokesperson for anti-bullying with your recent keynote speech—which was clearly bullying teenagers you were there to inspire. Did you really think you were earning “cool points” hurling ridicule at those who didn’t agree with you and were willing to demonstrate that, peacefully and without interrupting you? You may have hurt your cause more than helped it, sir.
